Despite a recent increase in player salaries following a collective bargaining agreement, top paid players whose salaries reached the million dollar mark are said to have decreased from nine in 2017 to just six last year.

According to the AFL‘s annual report for season 2018, three of the six earned somewhere between $1.2 to $1.3 million.

The players listed as the biggest money makers doesn’t come as a massive surprise, with two of the competitions elite midfielders along with four key forwards forming the six.

Fremantle captain Nathan Fyfe and Richmond’s Dustin Martin are the top-two earners of all the competitions midfielders.
